"A customer who pairs a Windows Mixed Reality headset with motion controllers," Microsoft said today, "will have a rich and immersive experience across creativity tools, productivity, games, and entertainment." It added:

The motion controllers offer precise and responsive tracking of movement in your field of view using the sensors in your headset. There is no need to install hardware on the walls around you. We created the controllers as a high quality and comfortable input device with the same ease of set up and portability as our headsets. We are keeping our promise to deliver a new mixed reality experience for everyone at an affordable price point.

Microsoft said that its partners "plan to market and sell these controllers on retail shelves this holiday". Additionally, Microsoft announced that Acer will sell a Windows Mixed Reality headset in a $399 bundle with the new motion controllers.
